Teletherapy: Your Guide To Surviving the Holidays With Ease

The winter holidays can be a time of joy and laughter as people gather together with their loved ones to share traditional meals, sing carols and open gifts. However, if the thought of spending a great deal of time with your family brings on feelings of dread, anxiety and fear, it’s important to know you’re not alone. The truth is, the holidays can be a difficult time for lots of people when they have to think about how best to communicate and coexist with relatives who may be unpleasant, dysfunctional or just plain toxic. If you are having a hard time getting into the holiday spirit because of the family gathering that lies ahead, take heart in knowing your therapist is just a phone call away. The teletherapy services offered by East-West Therapy of Honolulu, HI can be just what you need to survive your family holiday gathering, add some perspective, and even help you to enjoy yourself and your relatives.

Teletherapy can be particularly beneficial for those who are heading home for the holidays. If you are traveling out of the city or state to join your family members, you can rest easy that you will still be able to make regular teletherapy appointments for the duration of your stay. As long as you have a phone and a private space, you can visit with your therapist even when you’re far from home. In your teletherapy sessions, you can discuss tips for surviving the holidays, strategies to disarm your most difficult relatives, and tactics for building yourself up so you can thwart any feelings of low self-esteem, frustration or depression that may arise. Your therapist can also help you to better understand the psychology behind some of your family members’ words and actions, so you can create a place of forgiveness and peace in your heart.

The holidays are meant to be a time of peace, love and joy- where better to start than with yourself?
